thanks.....I actually think this color won't be to hard to keep nice.....I'm pretty easy on my bags and it's not that light
when I was shopping yesterday, the SA brought out an MBMJ bag in an ivory pebbled leather....aside from the fact that it wasn't a style for me, I wouldn't be at all interested in that color - too delicate for me

Thanks for the info! FWIW, I prefer the bag in Black, and honestly I am not a black bag person... I just think the subtlety of the weaving is gorgeous in this color. If I were to get one, I'd get black. Is the leather as shiny as it appears or is that just lighting?

I didn't notice the shine on the leather in the store. I noticed it more when I compared it to the photo of Halle Berry and her bag. It's fairly shiny but not glazed. I would describe it as smooth with some veins but no pebbling and some shine.
